Field Application Note: Reverse Dial Alignment Courtesy of STI Vibration Monitoring Inc. www.stiweb.com Misalignment can be the most usual cause for unacceptable operation and high vibration levels. New facilities or new equipm Reverse Dial Alignment Reverse Dial Alignment Mis-alignment can be the most usual cause for unacceptable operation and high vibration levels. New facilities or new equipment installations are often plagued Dial Indicator Alignment Dial Indicator Alignment Procedure The procedure for doing reverse dial indicator alignment is not a difficult one.  There are several steps which need to be taken for a s Acceleration Enveloping Application Enveloping Acceleration envelope measurements are a new introduction to the inventory available to vibration analysts. Although initially it would seem to be most useful for detecting Bearing Failure Modes Bearing Failure Modes This application note presents specific failure modes associated with machinery having journal bearings. Signal measurements presented here are time waveforms that Classification of Machines Classification of Machines This application note will provide a basis for selection of the machinery list of a Predictive Maintenance (PM) data collector program. Creating a PM mach Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors are utilized in all manufacturing industries. Because these machines are capable of providing high pressure along with variable loading, Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation Improve Reliability and Performance with a TSI from STI Vibration Monitoring STI’s Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) Systems provide cont SKF Bearing Life Cycle ” Your Direct Source for Plant Maintenance, Reliability, Test & Measurement” 1010 E.
